setback in this circumstance. He noted that the potential source of problem is the tap
room/tasting room, so it doesn’t seem right to place greater restriction than what the state
currently regulates. Therefore he would not support the additional restriction.
T. Plass agreed. He also noted that since the rule is in regards to restaurants with food and
not to the liquor in the tasting room, it this does not seem to be appropriate to limit the loop
hole that was cited during the public hearing.
W. Williford agreed with what has been said thus far and is disinclined to put restrictions on
restaurants. She encouraged BCD to continue to work with Avery through the other
regulatory avenues. She will support the staff recommendation.
M. Young also agreed with what has been stated and will support the city’s desire to support
responsible drinking, therefore will support the staff recommendation.
T. Plass noted that the potential abuses would likely happen when school is not in session.
He did have concerns about the broader implications in regards to the concentration of these
facilities in a given area, as well with the size limitations. He questioned what the public
transit will be for facilities in industrial areas, recommended getting the police involved for
the issues regarding large restaurants/large taprooms and suggested that staff go the to
Beverage License Authority to get their input on the larger implications. He does agree that
serving food with liquor is good and also agreed with speaker from Boulder Economic
Council.
A. Brockett noted that the compatibility issue with Avery Brewery Concept Plan and BCD
will be closely reviewed when it come through in December.
On a motion by W. Williford, seconded by A. Brockett, the Planning Board approved 4-0, (B.
Holicky, D. Powell and A. Shoemaker recused) to recommend to City Council the approval of
the proposed amendments to Title 9, “Land Use Code”, B.R.C. 1981, regarding definitions and
use standards for breweries, brewpubs, distilleries and wineries, per the staff memorandum.
T. Plass asked if the board agreed that the staff be directed to review the implications he outlined
under board discussion.
