Because The Good Beer Company is a use that will produce, distribute and sell an alcoholic beverage, we're required to submit a Conditional Use Permit Application("CUP"). The CUP is reviewed by the Zoning Administrator and the Planning Commission to determine whether the activities are acceptable in the location proposed and is of general benefit to the City, compatible with all surrounding uses, and consistent with the City's General Plan (that's text straight from the CUP form).
Well, the application, fee, and mailing information for all property owners and tenants within 500 feet of the proposed site were submitted to the City today. Now, we sit back and wait for the Administrator and Commission reviews - which will take place in February.
