Hotel developer seeks full liquor permit for on‑site consumption; staff finds separation waiver acceptable
Summary
Brandon Tampa Investments requested a 4‑COP SX alcoholic beverage permit (beer, wine and liquor) for a hotel within a mixed‑use PD; staff noted the proposed wet zone is within 250 feet of a residential zone but found buffering and site placement mitigate impacts and recommended approval with conditions.
Brandon Tampa Investments requested a 4‑COP SX alcoholic beverage permit to allow on‑site sale and consumption of beer, wine and liquor at a proposed hotel within a larger planned development and mixed‑use pod.
David Smith, representing the applicant, said the proposed hotel wet zone is located in the rear, northeast section of the building and that the only non‑enclosed wet‑zone activity would be the pool area. He noted a 20‑foot planted buffer and a parking lot between the hotel and an adjacent multifamily development and said driving distance between hotel access and the multifamily entrance is more than a half mile. “Based upon the location and special circumstances, we believe this is approvable,” Smith said.
Tanya Cappella submitted a revised staff report that corrected an omission — the staff report should include liquor in the summary — and recommended approval, citing separation and buffering measures. Planning Commission staff also reported the proposal is consistent with comprehensive plan compatibility policies.
No public speakers opposed the application. The hearing officer closed the item; staff conditions and the record will support the hearing officer’s forthcoming written action.
