Summary
The property located at 111 E. Main St. consists of Lots 14 & 15, Block 1 of the Pflugerville Subdivision, which is currently occupied by the European-Bistro restaurant and an adjoining concrete lot to the west. The applicant has proposed to replace the existing restaurant with a professional office in the front of the building and a wine bar in the remainder. Located within the Central Business District, a Bar/Tavern is only permitted if a Specific Use Permit (SUP) is approved. The professional office will have normal daytime office hours, while the bar/tavern is proposed to open around 4 pm. The existing entrance will be used by the professional office and a new entrance will be installed on the west side of the building for the bar/tavern. Access to the side entrance will be from the adjoining lot which will become a new outdoor patio/biergarten. Two new parking spaces will be established off of the alley, and on-street parking exists in front of the site and along Main St. No new signage has been proposed at this time. Structural modifications include adding a new door along the west side of the building to create a separate entrance for the bar/tavern and the installation of a demising wall inside the building to separate the bar/tavern from the office use. The outdoor patio is proposed to have an outdoor bar, new stained concrete installed and a screening wall/fence to define the boundaries of the patio as well as mitigate for noise. Additional improvements including landscaping, string lighting along with an outdoor fire place that may be added to the patio area to enhance aesthetics.
