The Colleyville Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a Special Use Permit for alcoholic beverage sales for on-premise consumption for Miguelito's Restaurant at their July 9 meeting.  The owners of the restaurant, located at 5224 Colleyville Boulevard, presented a petition to the city in support of the request containing over 1,850 signatures.  The Colleyville Land Development Code requires a Special Use Permit for alcohol sales, and also requires that places that serve alcohol be located at least 1,000 feet away (measured front door to front door) from a public school, church or hospital.  Because the restaurant is located just south of First Baptist Church of Colleyville, the distance was measured by Brittain & Crawford surveyors and shown to be 824.56 feet.

Although no one was present to speak against the request at the public hearing, a written protest was delivered to the city on Monday, July 9, to be read into the public record at the meeting by First Baptist Church of Colleyville. 

In other business the Commission also unanimously recommended approval of a Special Use Permit for a convenience store with gasoline sales and alcoholic beverage sales for off-premise consumption requested by the owners of the Albertson's at 4841 Colleyville Boulevard.  The applicant proposed a 1,989 square foot convenience store with beer and wine sales and four gas pump islands.  The facility would be located at the southeast corner of Village Park Drive/Glade Road and Colleyville Boulevard.  Both of the Special Use Permit requests (Miguelito's and Albertson's) will now go to the City Council for public hearings and final action. 

Approval was also recommended for an amendment to the Land Development Code regarding regulations for landscaping setbacks on Colleyville Boulevard.  A suggestion had been made by the State Highway 26 Corridor Committee to require a twenty-foot wide landscape strip at the front of each commercial development that abuts the boulevard.  The committee was appointed by the City Council last year to help develop design regulations for Colleyville Boulevard in conjunction with the widening and improvements planned for State Highway 26 by the Texas Department of Transportation.  The current landscape requirements are based on the size of the property and do not ensure uniform depth of landscaping along the boulevard.  The amendment will provide a more balanced appearance for landscaping.  This proposed ordinance change will also be forwarded to the City Council for action.
