Café Cultura is an existing restaurant at 324 West Fourth Street, Unit B. The Barrel Room restaurant previously provided alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at 324 West Fourth Street, Unit A. The proposed physical expansion of the existing restaurant located at 324 West Fourth Street, Unit B into the adjacent tenant suite located at 324 West Fourth Street, Unit A will provide additional seating space for the restaurant’s patrons. This will also facilitate the operations of the restaurant making the customer experience more pleasing by adding the sale of alcoholic beverages.

This will thereby benefit the community by providing a restaurant with an additional and complementary food related amenity. Operational standards applicable to the alcoholic beverage control license will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. 2.
