beverages) in conjunction with an existing restaurant , specifically for the restaurant's
customers. The restaurant is 2,156 square feet in size, has access along East Northwest
Highway and has an existing 20-foot pole sign. The site features 19 parking spaces for
patrons. No other exterior changes are being proposed as part of this request.
If approved, this will be the first reading of an ordinance given the subject site requires
approval for a special exception for the required 10-foot building separation between the
existing restaurant and a storage building. This item will be heard before the Board of
Zoning Adjustment at their August 5, 2024, meeting. If approved by the Board, the second
CU24-23.4 2

meeting.

single-story restaurant.

Project Narrative: Los Amigos
Hello,
I am writing to formally submit an application for a Conditional Use Permit
to allow the sale of liquor at Los Amigos Grapevine. As the owner of Los Amigos
Grapevine, I am excited about the opportunity to enhance the offerings at our
establishment and provide a more comprehensive experience
for our valued customers.
I believe that the addition of liquor sales will benefit our business and also, we aim to
attract a broader customer base and increase revenue, which will enable us to keep our
business open and provide the support we need to keep our employees working.
I respectfully request that you consider our application for a Conditional Use
Permit favorably. We are confident that the addition of liquor sales will be a positive
development for our business and our customers.
We have been in business for more than twenty-eight years in this beautiful city of
Grapevine but now we are facing a challenging time to keep our business afloat in
these different times.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you
require any additional information. Beforehand I appreciate your consideration to our
application.
Sincerely
Arturo Gutierrez
