RETAILER'S PERMIT (BG PERMIT) I
First for the Commission to consider and make recommendation to City Council was to
consider amendments to Section 42, Supplementary District Regulations of the zoning
ordinance relative to the Wine and Beer retailer's Permit (BG Permit).
Section 42, Supplementary District Regulations of the zoning ordinance and Chapter 4,
Alcoholic Beverages of the Code of Ordinances also requires holders of a mixed
121713

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
DECEMBER 17, 2013
beverage permit or private club permit to have at least fifty (50) percent of their gross
sales derived from food.
During the last Texas legislative session (83rd Legislature) the Texas Alcoholic
Beverage Commission Code relative to Chapter 25, Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit
(BG permit) was amended as part of House Bill 2818. The specific amendment
authorizes cities to consider this permit, if the legal sale of beer and wine for off - premise
consumption and the legal sale of mixed beverages for on- premise consumption have
been previously authorized, without going through the time and expense to hold another
local option election. Specifically this BG permit allows for both on- and off - premise
consumption of beer and wine and relative to the city of Grapevine, requires the holder
of a BG permit that operates within a restaurant to meet the regulations that are
currently in place for on- premise alcohol beverage consumption.
Based on direction given to staff wording was added within Section 42, Supplementary
District Regulations prohibiting the holder of the Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit from
offering any other alcoholic beverage on site other than beer and /or wine and requiring
holders of this permit within the "GV" Grapevine Vintage District or the "CBD" Central
Business District to offer wine by the bottle or case for purchase for off- premise
consumption. The permit will require consideration and approval by the city council
through the conditional use process.
With no further questions, guests to speak, nor letters or petitions, the public hearing
was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, B J Wilson moved to approve AM13 -06.
Monica Hotelling seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Wilson, Hotelling, Fechter, Martin, and Tiggelaar
