CODE-03-19 Alcohol Permits in SD(MU) Zone - Amend Title 15A, Chapter 19-03, -5635_PC SD-MU Mixed Use, Land Development Code, Revised Ordinances of Sandy City, 2008 Mike Wilcox presented this item to the Planning Commission on behalf of the City Council and Administration. This Code Amendment would affect the SD- MU Mixed Use Zone. This zoned is only used in two locations throughout the city. One is the Amphitheater located on the corner of 1300 E. 9400 S. and the other is the Outback Steakhouse located at 7800 S. 1300 E. The SD-MU Mixed Use zone was created for a mix of uses such as professional offices, multi family, and quasi-public. This proposed amendment would allow for new uses, such as the Alcoholic Beverage Single Event Permit and the Alcoholic Beverage Temporary Beer Permit. Commissioner Cory Shupe asked if the reason the corner of 7800 S. 1300 E. is included is because it is the same zone. So, the code amendment would affect not only the Amphitheater but that area because they share the same zone. Mike Wilcox replied that is correct. James Sorenson stated he believes that since Outback Steakhouse is a restaurant, they can already serve alcohol. The Planning Commission had discussion on the zoning for the corner of 7800 S. 1300 E.
