Rockville planning panel approves Moonflower Beverage home-occupation permit for mobile bartending
Summary
The Rockville Planning Commission approved a home-occupation permit for Moonflower Beverage Company, a mobile bartending service based at 160 North Pebble Lane, with conditions on signage and on-site storage of any future trailer.
The Rockville Planning Commission on March 11 approved a home-occupation permit for Moonflower Beverage Company, a mobile bartending service that will be based at 160 North Pebble Lane but operate off-site at customer events.
The application, submitted for Kaylee Evenson and represented at the meeting by Christian Evenson, was found to comply with the town's home-occupation rules and the Rockville land use code chapter 4, the commission said. The approval notes the business must remain secondary to the residence and follow state licensing and local restrictions on signage, parking and neighborhood disturbance.
Christian Evenson, who spoke for the applicant, told the commission that "it is a mobile bartending service, so not operated out of the home," and that the address would primarily serve for phone calls, emails and bookkeeping. He said the business would use a personal vehicle to get to events and that, if a trailer or dedicated business vehicle were acquired later, it would be stored behind the house and out of public view.
Commissioners asked about equipment and advertising. The applicant said the service would bring items typically used by bartenders — shakers, glasses, ice — but that alcohol would be supplied by customers at events. The planning commission recorded that the applicant holds the necessary server permit and that, under the applicant's reading of Utah law, a separate liquor license was not required because the business would not be supplying alcohol.
The commission's motion approving the permit reminds the applicant that a home-occupation is an accessory use, that the applicant must reside at the location as required by state code 10-1-203 (as cited in the motion), and that signage, traffic and parking restrictions apply. The motion was seconded and approved in a roll-call vote.
The approval is final following the town's normal paperwork; the applicant was reminded to comply with local sign rules if a trailer or other visible vehicle is used in the future.
