WILKS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER DATE: APRIL 21, 2006 SUBJECT: OUTDOOR DINING REGULATIONS Village regulations currently provide for outdoor dining on both public and private property. Consumption of alcoholic beverages in these dining venues is permitted (with the appropriate Liquor License) by Chapter 13 (Alcoholic Liquors) unless the outdoor venue is within 300 feet of a Residential Zoning District. This restriction is commonly referred to as the "Butch McGuire's rule" dating back to the early 1990s. As you may recall, Butch McGuire's was a bar with an extensive beer garden that abutted the backyards of a dozen single-family residences. The impact of the beer garden on the adjoining residences was substantial and severe. When Butch McGuire's closed due to fire, the Village Board adopted the 300-foot rule. By and large, the "Butch McGuire rule" has served the Village well. However, with changes in dining trends in the restaurant industry generally and the on-going redevelopment of Mount Prospect's downtown specifically, this restriction presents severe limitations to realizing desirable dining opportunities in the downtown and throughout the Village. Staff looked at ways to keep the overall protection provided by the "Butch McGuire rule" in place, yet permit, under closely regulated conditions, outdoor dining opportunities, with alcohol service, closer than the current 300' limit. Attached is an Ordinance that would modify the "Butch McGuire rule" by providing for the issuance of a Special Permit by the Liquor Control Commissioner that would allow such an outdoor dining facility to be established. The strength of the "Special Permit" approach is that it allows maximum flexibility for both the issuance and revocation of said Permit. The Ordinance allows the Liquor Control Commissioner to establish "conditions" as part of the permit. These conditions would be in addition to the rules and regulations already in place governing outdoor dining venues. Staff recommends favorable consideration of the proposed Ordinance.
