Panel recommends approval for bubble-tea shop in Bellerive Plaza
Summary
The commission recommended approval of an additional-use permit for a bubble-tea shop (Tea's Day) at 12812 Olive Boulevard in Bellerive Plaza, subject to conditions limiting seats and hours and noting sufficient shared parking.
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended that the city council approve an additional-use permit for a bubble-tea shop at 12812 Olive Boulevard (Bellerive Plaza), forwarding the item with a positive recommendation.
The applicant, who identified herself as Pam, described the proposed operation as a primarily carry-out bubble-tea shop with eight indoor seats, an interior kitchen for light baking, no outdoor seating, and no exterior changes to the building. Bethany Moore, city planner, said the use (NAICS 722515) is a conditional use in the General Commercial district and that the site has 527 existing parking spaces at Bellerive Plaza, leaving a surplus of parking even with the new use. Staff recommended conditions including limiting seats to eight and hours from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
A commissioner moved to recommend approval of the permit subject to the staff conditions and draft ordinance for the October 21 council meeting; the motion was seconded and approved by recorded ayes. Staff said the item will go to city council at its meeting next Monday at 7 p.m.
