PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a request to amend an existing Specific Use Permit (SUP) pertaining to signage for Goody Goody Liquor Store, located on the west side of South Main Street, approximately 750 feet south of the Bear Creek Parkway and South Main Street intersection, on 1.41 acres, legally described as Lot 6R, Block A of the Bear Creek Plaza Addition, zoned Commercial (C), and situated at 730 South Main Street. 730 South Main Street Partners Ltd., Owner. Goody Goody Liquor, Inc., Applicant. (SUP-22-0018)
Background:
On May 4, 2021, the City Council approved an SUP for Goody Goody Liquor store with the following conditions:
1. The western elevation to be 100% brick.
2. The “Beer, Wine, Liquor” sign to be removed.
3. The “Goody Goody” sign is the only sign to be permitted and must be located above the doors.
On September 7, 2021, the City Council approved the site plan with three variances associated with lot constraints. The three conditions for the SUP were also included in the resolution.
SUP Amendment Request:
The purpose of this item is to amend the SUP to add “wine beer liquor” and the corrected logo to the approved Goody Goody signs located above the north and east entrances.
Please see the ‘Staff Attachment A - Application and narrative letter’ which includes the applicant’s explanation that the previously approved signage does not match Goody Goody’s standard business signage. The applicant has also requested to amend the site plan to reflect the same, which is on the agenda as a separate item.
Citizen Input:
On June 2, 2022, the City mailed out 8 Letters of Notification for this public hearing to all property owners within three-hundred feet (300’) of the subject site. A public hearing notice sign was also posted on the site.
