Recommendation
Project Summary
A request for a limited term permit (LTP) to remodel and expand the existing outdoor dining patio and to extend the hours of operation at Zinc Café and Market. The Café component and outdoor patio are currently permitted to operate from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., daily, and the outdoor dining patio area is limited to 250 square feet. The LTP is requested to temporarily increase the amount of outdoor dining area by 251 square feet, for a total area of 501 square feet, and to temporarily extend the hours of operation for the Café and patio until 11 p.m., daily. The Market component is authorized to operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., daily, and no changes are proposed to the market operation. If approved, the LTP would allow the Café to operate with these enhanced characteristics for up to one year. The Café would maintain its Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and Wine Eating Pace) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License that was previously authorized.
