Committee approves Compass Groups license amendment and temporary festival license for Corpus Christi
Summary
The committee unanimously approved an amended premises application for Compass Groups USA Inc.’s Class B beer and liquor license and a temporary Class B license for the Corpus Christi Celebration Festival after staff confirmed both applicants narrowed or clarified the licensed premises.
The Ordinance and Licensing Committee on Aug. 25 unanimously approved two license items: an amendment of premises application from Compass Groups USA Inc. for a Class B beer and liquor license and a temporary Class B license for the Corpus Christi Celebration Festival.
Staff and committee counsel said Compass Groups amended its application to describe the licensed premises to include seating areas in the football field and field house, addressing a concern that the original description was too narrow. Committee counsel said the amendment “addresses my concern,” and the Chair moved to approve the amendment; the motion passed unanimously.
On the temporary Class B application for the Corpus Christi Festival, staff said the applicant amended the map and specified that the licensed premises would be limited to the tented area. Committee counsel and members discussed that the tented area should be clearly defined for monitoring and suggested that tape or enclosure around the tent would be an adequate practical measure. A motion to approve the temporary license passed unanimously.
Both approvals were recorded by unanimous consent; committee members noted the practical need to precisely define fenced or tented licensed premises so that monitoring and enforcement are feasible.
