Summary

The board granted a special exception allowing on-site alcohol service at a proposed Las Consuela's Mexican restaurant at a former American Legion site, with an amendment banning outdoor amplified sound and standard conditions including police pre-clearance for late-night hours.

The board approved a special exception enabling on-site consumption of alcohol at a proposed Las Consuela’s Mexican restaurant at a former American Legion building, despite the property’s recorded proximity to a single-family parcel that places it inside the county’s 500-foot separation standard.

Applicant Bernadino Gutierrez (speaker 23) and co-applicants described plans for a small restaurant and accepted a staff recommendation and a board amendment to prohibit outdoor amplified sound; the applicants agreed to the condition. Staff noted that if the adjacent property’s use changed (for example, it were no longer a residence), the separation requirement would be affected, and the police department would address noise complaints and late-night clearances. After discussion, the board approved the special exception with conditions and authorized staff to finalize the board order.
