Summary

The board approved a special exception for on-site beer and wine service at the former New York Diner location, now proposed as Thai Fusion, subject to conditions barring outdoor beverage service and restricting event sizes without permits.

The zoning board approved a special exception allowing on-site alcohol (beer and wine) service at 920 Inlet Square Drive, the site of a restaurant for roughly 35 years. Attorney or representative Mark Dame spoke for the property owner and noted the space has long functioned as a restaurant and that the new tenant has invested in interior renovations. Staff outlined conditions that would limit outdoor dining and amplified sound and require a Horry County Police preclearance letter for any establishment open after midnight.

Board members approved the special exception with the staff conditions after a motion and second; the chair announced the request was approved following a roll-call tally. The conditions include limits on outdoor displays, event sizes above 499 requiring a special-event permit, and compliance with all state and local laws.
