Carolina Forest brewery seeks RE‑4 zoning to allow beer distribution
Summary
Applicant said the zoning change is necessary for a small brewery to distribute beer to its other restaurants; commissioners asked how much additional truck traffic distribution would add to local roads.
An applicant seeking to rezone a parcel on Carolina Forest Boulevard to RE‑4 said the change is needed to allow local distribution of beer produced by an on‑site brewery. The applicant, David Alderman (S8), told commissioners the owners operate multiple restaurants and want the ability to distribute to those locations and possibly retail outlets in the future: "So, basically, we just need to have the zoning changed to r e 4 so that we can distribute beer" (David Alderman (S8)).
Commissioners asked about the potential for additional truck traffic and the scale of distribution; the applicant said the brewery is small and does not yet have the capacity to distribute widely but would like the option in the future. Staff will continue to review the request and return the item for final action.
