Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen responded to the Staff inquiry about <br /> if the Council wanted to expand that to other districts that allow restaurants. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked about restaurants such as Granite City or Green Mill who brew <br /> on premise. He would assume those are considered brewpubs even though they are mostly <br /> considered restaurants because they don't distribute outside of their facility. He stated if that is <br /> the case, he thought Staff's suggestion was appropriate to put a brewpub in the same category as <br /> a restaurant. <br /> Deputy City Administrator/ Community Dev. Director Hagen replied he thought that was correct. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated it sounds like there are more things to consider and questioned <br /> if it could be added to a Work Session to vet more ideas and options for different districts. She <br /> asked if it could still be introduced and address issues when it comes back. <br /> Deputy City Administrator/ Community Dev. Director Hagen replied the Staff could come back <br /> with examples to show differences for scale of operation and what categories they fall into and <br /> include that with the next case. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the ordinance were introduced if big changes could still be <br /> made. <br /> Deputy City Administrator/ Community Dev. Director Hagen replied the introduction could be <br /> done and Staff will come back with more information. <br /> Councilmember Specht commented that he supports this, adding whatever can be done to make it <br /> easier for restaurants and be proactive is great. He stated he supported expanding it and having <br /> brewpubs be the same as restaurants. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Specht, to introduce <br /> Ordinance 422-11 Amending City Code Sections 117-116, 117-117, 117-118, and 117-124 to <br /> Allow Taprooms, Breweries, and Microbreweries in all of the E districts as well as COR and also <br /> allow Brewpubs where ever restaurants are allowed as conditional uses. <br /> Further discussion: <br /> Councilmember Riley asked if breweries were left out of The COR. Councilmember Woestehoff <br /> confirmed this. <br /> Amended motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Specht, to <br /> introduce Ordinance 422-11 Amending City Code Sections 117-116, 117-117, 117-118, and 117- <br /> 124 to Allow Taprooms, Breweries, and Microbreweries in all of the E districts as well as COR <br /> and also allow Brewpubs where ever restaurants are allowed as conditional uses, and allow <br /> breweries in the E districts. <br /> A roll call vote was performed: <br /> City Council/February 8, 2022 <br /> Page 13 of 23 <br />
