Committee approves special-event permits for Oaxaca Margarita Bar Cinco de Mayo and Randy’s Rescue Ranch art fair
Summary
The committee recommended two special-event permits to the council: a Cinco de Mayo event at Oaxaca Margarita Bar & Grill (May 2–5) with a tent and DJ and estimated 50–80 patrons per day, and Randy’s Rescue Ranch art and craft fair (May 24–25) expecting 200–400 attendees and including food sales and hayrides.
The Community Development committee recommended approval of two special-event permit requests:
- Oaxaca Margarita Bar & Grill: The applicant requested a Cinco de Mayo event from May 2 to May 5 with a tented area and a DJ from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Staff said the applicant anticipates 50 to 80 patrons and must obtain a special event liquor license for each day. The committee voted to forward the permit request to council with a recommendation of approval.
- Randy’s Rescue Ranch: The applicant requested an art and craft fair on May 24–25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering vendor booths, a 50/50 raffle, rescue merchandise, hayrides, face painting and food sales. Staff said the applicant anticipates 200–400 attendees and will collect applicable sales and food & beverage taxes. The committee discussed parking constraints and noted the applicant plans to stagger attendance through the day and hire security; staff also suggested coordinating parking with a nearby church if needed. The committee voted to forward the permit request to council with a recommendation of approval.
Both requests will go to the full city council for final approval; staff noted required inspections (for tent stability) and liquor-permit conditions must be satisfied before events proceed.
Ending: The permits will appear on the council agenda; staff will continue working with applicants on parking arrangements, tent inspection and licensing requirements.
