McPherson Road Indoor Bar Permit

At a glance

• What: ZC-064-2026 (District V, McPherson Road and East Taylor Street): conditional use permit for an indoor bar; the question is whether outdoor on-premise alcohol is allowed.
• Where it stands: Final reading approved September 21, 2026 as amended; the October 19, 2026 agenda says the change was a substantial change and returns the item to public hearing.

Detail

• Ordinance 2026-O-185: the title as recorded reads "indoor bar only, outdoor on-premise alcohol consumption shall be prohibited" on Block 854-A (Suite 19, 912 square feet) and Lots 1, 2, 7 and 8, Block 757-A, Eastern Division. Gutierrez moved the amendment "as read", Rangel seconded; 9-0. The amendment text itself is not in the minutes.
• The October 19 agenda (before the minutes were available) describes Council's September 21 change as allowing outdoor on-premise alcohol, deemed substantial, so the item returns to public hearing; staff supports an indoor bar only and Planning and Zoning recommended approval with modified conditions. The two accounts differ and should be checked against the October 19 minutes.

Who did what

• Gutierrez: Moved the amendment.
• Rangel: Seconded.
