Texas 77008 <br />RE: Alcohol Permit Application, Texas Grill Catering, 2219 Underwood, La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Dear Sir/Madam: <br />Reference the attached permit application, the City of La Porte, though consultation with your staff <br />attorney and our City attorney has been advised to forward this application for Texas Grill Catering <br />with a letter of clarification. Due to zoning issues, the applicant's use of the property/facility <br />referenced on the application for an alcohol permit is limited. <br />Attached at enclosure 1 is a copy of the applicant's zoning permit that was issued April 12, 2004. This <br />permit authorized the applicant, Texas Grill, to operate under Standard Industrial Code #5812 "FOR <br />CATERING ONLY, NO DINE -IN PERMITTED" To date, catering is the only permitted use for the <br />facility. <br />The applicant, Mr. Melvin Walker, had applied to the City of La Porte to open the Texas Grill as a <br />dine -in restaurant. While he was issued a Special Conditional Use Permit, it is the City's position that <br />he never fulfilled the requirements of the permit and, therefore, was not issued a zoning permit or a <br />certificate of occupancy for the operation of a full service restaurant. The use of the facility reverts to <br />the last approved zoning permit for catering only. <br />It must be clear that the City of La Porte forwards this application to TABC with the understanding <br />that this action does not constitute the City's acceptance of the operation for the Texas Grill as a dine - <br />in restaurant and defers interpretation of this alcohol permit application to TABC for catering <br />purposes. <br />Sincerely, <br />Wayne J. Sabo <br />Interim Planning Director <br />1 Enclosure: as stated <br />Attachment: TABC Permit Application Texas Grill Catering <br />Cc: Department File <br />City Secretary <br />City Attorney <br />
